Riomaggiore 1931

Hermann Lismann's 1931 ink drawing "Riomaggiore" depicts a picturesque Italian village nestled against a hillside. The artist's expressive lines capture the scene's architectural details, from the stacked, colorful buildings to the arched bridge spanning a narrow waterway. The work, now housed in the Städel Museum, showcases Lismann's interest in capturing the essence of place through bold, gestural strokes, offering a glimpse into the artist's personal interpretation of the Italian landscape.
